Fade vs. Taper

At Mr. Cuts Barbershop in Everett, Washington, we specialize in precision haircuts, including the popular fade and taper styles. But what exactly are fade and taper haircuts? 

A fade is a gradual transition from short hair to even shorter hair, creating a seamless blend. It’s often seen on the sides and back of the head, with the hair gradually getting shorter as it approaches the skin. Fades can be high, mid, or low, depending on how high up the fade starts. 

A taper, on the other hand, is a more subtle transition. It involves gradually decreasing the length of the hair without a stark contrast. Tapers are versatile and can be customized to suit your preferences. 

Whether you’re looking for a classic fade or a modern taper, our skilled barbers will ensure you leave our shop with a sharp and stylish haircut.
